Better Bodies for NMM Description:This re-release of the famous Better Bodies mod adds proper Nexus Mod Manager support including a customizable installer that provides you options for all three flavors. This removes the need to run an executable and saves you a little time in both installation and reconfiguration.

This is version 2.2 of Better Bodies. It replaces both the males andthe females of all eight humanoid races in Morrowind. You do not needto have Tribunal or Bloodmoon installed to use Better Bodies. Themeshes are now in their final states (really this time), so anybody whowants to can make clothing or armor for these bodies.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What's New~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Version 2.2 is expected to be the final version, since there's little leftto change. New features include:

-Erstam's seamless fix, which prevents seams between body parts from being visible under certain lighting conditions-Fixed the hole in the armpit that some people were complaining about-Improved textures for all races

Version 2.1 was mainly a bug fix, however there were several other changes:

-Improved textures for first-person hands-Many vertex weighting mistakes were fixed which caused clipping with various clothing mods-Replaced the entire model for the third-person hands. It's better looking now and doesn't have that "claw" look anymore.

Version 2.0 produced several significant changes to the body, some cosmeticand some functional. New features include:

-First person hands-Nude version and permanent-underwear version-Peanut gallery version (for insecure adolescent boys)-Eliminated errors showing up in the Warnings.txt file-Eliminated neck seam and made many other seams less visible-Vastly improved backwards compatibility with mods and original clothes-Improved the shape of the neck, calves, and ankles-Improved the skin textures-Better Bodies is now an esp instead of an esm. This makes it so that dirty mods no longer replace body parts on your character. It also allows Better Bodies to work with translated versions of Morrowind.

Now that Better Bodies is completed, our next goals are to create newclothing and armor that works with these bodies. This project iscalled Better Clothes, and anyone who would like to help is welcome tojoin. For more details, check out our forums.

Better Bodies provides several features that enable modders makingclothing and armor to be more flexible as far as what they can make. Theprimary one is new slots that don't replace anything. If you can use aslot that replaces a part, please do so, as this cuts down on the totalnumber of polygons. However, if you can't or don't want to replace a bodypart, we've made four new slots available with Better Bodies. These slotsare "Left Foot", "Left Ankle", "Left Knee", and "Left Upper Leg." Thefollowing guidelines should be used when using these slots:

Left Foot - Used for sandals and anything else that covers the feetLeft Ankle - Used for shirts and anything else that covers the upper bodyLeft Upper Leg - Used for pants, skirts, or anything covering the lower bodyLeft Knee - Miscellaneous slot (jewelry, accessories, etc.)Skirt - Miscellaneous slot

Please refer to our web site for more information on how to make clothingand armor.
